Quick Answer
Set up your LED Lighted Braziers by installing the battery and placing them in corners or along walls to create atmospheric dungeon lighting. Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect battery orientation or placing them where they block miniatures.
Why Placement Matters for Dungeon Lighting
The LED Lighted Braziers Add-On Pack gives you eight light-up pieces that transform a dark dungeon into an immersive scene. But where you put them makes a big difference in both gameplay and visual effect.
Placing braziers in corners or near doorways creates natural light sources that guide the eye and highlight key areas. Avoid putting them in the middle of open floors where they can interfere with miniature movement or line of sight.
Since these are unpainted Dungeon Gray Dwarvenite pieces, consider painting them first for a more finished look. Dwarven Forge recommends Pokorny Paint Colors for best results on this material.
Step-by-Step Setup and Placement Guide
- Insert the Battery Correctly: Open the battery compartment on the bottom of each brazier and insert a small coin cell battery (CR2032) with the positive side facing up as indicated. Close the compartment securely. Common mistake: inserting the battery upside down. The light won't turn on, and forcing the compartment can damage the contacts.
- Test Each Brazier Before Placing: Press the button or touch the sensor (depending on the model) to verify the LED works. If it doesn't, check battery orientation and compartment closure. It's frustrating to place a brazier in a build only to find it doesn't light. Test all eight before you start building.
- Choose Strategic Placement Spots: Position braziers in corners, along walls, near doorways, or at intersections of corridors. Avoid placing them in the middle of open floor tiles where they can be knocked over or block miniatures. Checkpoint: ensure each brazier sits flat on the tile and doesn't wobble. An unstable brazier is a hazard during gameplay.
- Integrate with Terrain Elevation: If you're using multi-level builds, place braziers on ledges or upper floors to cast light downward. This creates dramatic shadows and highlights architectural details. Common mistake: placing braziers on the same level as the action. Elevating them gives a more realistic light spread.
- Consider Painting for Better Aesthetics: The braziers come unpainted. For a more finished look, paint them with Pokorny Paint Colors formulated for Dungeon Gray Dwarvenite. Apply a base coat, then dry-brush a metallic or flame effect. If you paint the brazier bowl, avoid getting paint on the LED lens or battery compartment seal. Mask those areas with tape.
